[T]he harm [Clinton AG] Reno did to American national security in the fight against terror was incalculable.

Leadership is a dynamic tension between where a politician thinks his country must go and where his voters want it to go.

In the real world, banks hang onto their money for fear of making bad loans, no matter how many bailouts or stimulus packages Washington passes.

The cost of campaigning has skyrocketed in recent years because of the falloff in TV viewership. With only one-third as many people watching TV as did 20 years ago, politicians have responded by buying three times as many ads, driving the cost of campaigning to levels which only favored candidates can afford.

A politician can do what he thinks is right, he just has to be sophisticated in how he goes about it. Those who seek a president who 'will disregard the polls and just lead,' ask for the political equivalent of 'The Charge of the Light Brigade.'

I didn't do what they said I did. I may have done enough so that I don't know if I can prove my innocence.

Obama has had two raging successes in his term: He has slashed unemployment by persuading millions to give up hope and leave the labor force and He has cut illegal immigration by casting the United States into a permanent job shortage. Some achievements!

I love Karl Rove. He elected Bush.

Spin is overrated. It is strategy, not spin, that wins elections.

The problem: Democrats have to drop their stupid class-warfare rhetoric. With 74 million Americans owning stock in one form or another, anything which helps them can't be derided as a sop to the rich.

The last man to try to run for president advocating a tax increase was Walter Mondale. He lost 49 states in 1984, and the I'll raise your taxes reputation haunted him all the way to Minnesota last year, where he lost his 50th state in the Senate election.

The opposing party rarely causes so much angst as does one's own.

Nothing works on the campaign trail like attacks on candidates for bad attendance. It alienates people on both sides of every issue and reflects a callous disregard of the work of the people. The feeble argument that I'm running for president isn't much of a rebuttal: George W. Bush finds time to be president, and he's running too.
